well holy smokes Trinity is here. What a totally crazy experience labour was this time. So as you allknow I have been suffering for quite awhile with being pregnant. And man was i praying alot. Well on monday morning at around 7am i woke up with mild contractions. They where every ten minutes and they were about a minute and 30 seconds long. That went on for about two hours. I took a hot bath for about an hour and the contractions were getting a bit stronger (I had to start breathing through them). I got out of the bath, brushed my teeth went pee and then the pain started to become constant. Not crazy painful though. I lay down and Ryan called the midwife. She said she would be over in 15 minutes. Less than 10 minutes went by and my water broke. I went pee again and we took off for the hospital. It was about 11:30am. We got to the hospital in 5 minutes and quickly went up to the 3rd floor. As soon as we got there they but two baby monitors on my and checked the baby and me. I was 7 to 8 centimeters. My midwife was still not there. So they called her and told her. She was on her way. I told the nurse I had to pee. While in the bathroom i felt pushing comming on! I couldn't believe it! I went back to the bed and a nurse said something about butting an iv in me then they would transfer me. All of a sudden the pushing hit and I kinda screamed......the nurse was talking to Ryan I think and I said "PUSHING"......"HELP"....... Thats when some panic started. They rolled me into a room and were calling for a doctor. There was major panic for a few moments then some guy (who I thought was a doctor) came in. As it turned out he wasn't a doctor..... and from what I understand he shouldn't have been there. ANYWAY...I was just glad someone was there. Then this awesome nurse popped in and kinda took control. She said YOU JUST PUSH, LETS GET THIS BABY OUT AND HAVE IT OVER! That made me think of all the complaining I have been doing and I though YA lets just get this thing out now....I pushed so hard that i broke a bunch of blood vessels in my face. I almost passed out but within about 5 minutes that kid was OUT! It felt so good. With Silver I was so tired and drugged that I never really got to experience the whole thing. When everything was finally OUT I raised my arms in the air and said "OH YES"! "THAT FEELS SO GOOD"! "YES"!!

Trinity is awesome, she sleeps very well and has NO problems eating. Silver likes her but really has no interest in her. Ryans mom is here to help until thursday afternoon and Ryan has until Sunday off work. What a great experience this has been.....but I wont be doing this again any time soon.....if ever:) Thanks for ALL the prayers.......Jesus is awesome and his timing IS perfect.....

Did someone say 'baby'? Where? ......... SO iam now 8 days over due. This is so hard, i knew it wouldn't be fun to go over due but its really one of the most challenging things I've ever had to endure. I know it will be all worth it in the end and I will forget about how terrible it has been, but it is still very hard. Also I feel like a total ass because as far as we know Trinity is totally healthy and doing well and I should be happy with that, that should be enough.

My mother in law (who is awesome) Has been with us almost 2 weeks now, and she is leaving on thursday afternoon. If we don't have the little one by then, well we will be in trouble. But my midwife is sure that we will have her out by then. I will be induced tuesday or wednesday. Although I would like to have the baby before then.

Well off I go again to try and stay strong. Thanks for hearing me out again. Just so some of you know I am a really GREAT person when Im not pregnant :) , I really never usually complain about anything. Usually..............

HELLO EVERYONE! GUESS WHAT! no baby yet!.................im going to cry now

Oh dear.......5 days over now......Silver was 7 days over due. Oh dear.

I never thought a person could poo as much as i have today, and its not over yet! So I am over due about 3 days and I desided to use castor oil. First of all let me say how sick it is. It felt so strange to be drinking oil. YUCK...... I feel somewhat sick to my stomach and as I said earlier .....poo....so much poo. It seems to not be working at all. So thats it. Im just going to wait, to try and relax and wait, and deal with it all. If I wasen't such a high stress person I would probably have given birth by now. But tension just makes it all take longer. Anyway...I wait

I've been waiting. Thats all nothing more just waiting. Tomorrow is my due date. I have been so anxious the whole pregnancy and its only worse now with my due date here. I am starting to tell myself that it could be another week or even two! I was about 10 days over with Silver. I really want to see this baby and to know that she is alright and healthy. That is truly what concerns me the most. That and of course I want the whole experience behind me. I am trying to just be relaxed and calm. Because I read that being anxious and tense can make it take longer. We all know I don't want that!

Thanks to those whole have been praying for me (SOME of you HAVE been praying RIGHT!) Anyway, the baby is comming soon........

wow im totally nuts today. Ryan is at work again and i just can't stand it anymore, eventhough I know he has the next two weeks off. Im just tired....so tired. I want to just sit down and relax and sleep. I suppose in a way I am being prepared for having two kids. Once I start getting into shape again it will be much easier. Life is always so much better when one is is shape and eating right and feeling good. Really its true, all those people on tv who say "eat right and exercise" arn't lying. It works. Ryan and I are planning on playing rachet ball this fall. Its something we can do together and get good exercise and it only keeps us out of the house about 2 hours a week. Plus I will get to buy a cool little white skirt and googles and comfortable shoes. Im a total sucker for that kind of stuff.

Silver was up for hours last night. By the time he finally fell esleep I was so frustrated and crazy...... but thank goodness his teeth are almost all in now. Probably just another week or so.

Yesterday we got out all of our baby stuff.... its getting really exciting now. When we had Silver we invested in some wicked stuff so that it would last through all of our kids. The stuff is still like new and a total blessing. So take this advice from me, if you are planning on having more than one child in life then when you buy stuff like a stroller get a good one! Its worth it to pay more if your only buying one.

so tired...must sleep..

well we went to Giant Tiger today. After Yvonne talked about it on her blog I just had to check it out. I've wanted to go there for a long time. It totally rocks. They have so much stuff in there. The deals are also amazing. We will frequent there more often.

We are almost all ready for the baby. Now that we know its a girl I realised how boyish our baby clothes are. When we bought stuff for Silver I tried to get stuff that wasn't too boyish but its hard. Alot of stuff out there is either totally boyish or girlish. I like the in between stuff. bla bla bla

My mother in law comes monday night! I am crazy excited. Ryan also has some time off starting monday so it will be nice to just relax and hang out while we wait for the baby. Ryan has been working like crazy and it will be nice to see him get some much needed rest too.

Im majorly pumped about things I want to do after Trinity is born. First of all I am going to go buy me a really comfortable sweatsuit from Roots, some awesome runners, expensive shampoo, and really good face wash and cream. Then in december I am going to get me a Tatoo. When Silver was born Ryan got an arm band tatoo with silvers name in it. So now its my turn to get one. I think I will get an arm band of trinity knots. Yup that sound perfect! I can't wait.

Alright so I'm 'dealing' a little better today. I had a fetal assessment today.... it was very cool. They just wanted to see if the baby was growing properly and things where alright. It was great because Ryan wasn't there for the ultra sound so it was great that he got to see the baby. The lady said everything looked very good and the baby is about 7.5 pounds already (so my dreams of having a smaller baby are shattered). Although we did ask what the sex of the baby was as she told us! So here it is....its a Trinity.........a girl. It feels totaly wierd...... I mean if we had, had a girl the first time and a boy now it would be equaly as strange. You just get so used to one and then have the other....it just feels strange. But we are very happy to know that the baby is doing well. Thats all I have to say

SOMEONE GET THIS BABY OUT OF ME! thank you

I just watched Montel, and guess what it was about????? Women who give birth in crazy places. One lady was in Walmart and pushed her baby out with a bunch of strangers watching! Another gave birth on the hood of there car. Her husband delivered and one of the neighbours came over set up a lawn chair and watched while munching ona bag of doritos!! What the heck! Anyway to say the least I am kinda freaked out. Its hard not to think about labout when its going to be happening to me anyday now (I hope). Well thats all for now!

What an exciting weekend I've had!!! HAHAHAHAHA Just kidding. Actually I am really happy that we got a chance to get to church this sunday. Its been awhile, as Ryan has been working just about every Sunday.

Im happy to report that things are comming together at our house. Carlie (just so you know) we've moved all the stuff that needed to be stored at your place. After I have the baby I will come over and help you organize your basement a little better. Our stuff seems to be in the way. But thanks for letting us dump it all there for now.

My mother in law comes on monday and I couldn't be happier. What a blessing it is to have someone come and help us. She is a totally awesome woman.

K Im tired........

Picture this....its 4am, and for once I am actually sleeping soundly. That is until the loud sirens of 3 or 4 fire trucks come screaming down my street. For one brief moment I think 'whatever no big deal there just driving by', but as I wake up a little more I remember how short my street is and how they COULDN'T be 'just driving by'. So the next thought I have is "Holy crap is our house on fire!?" There are flashing lights everywhere and I can hear the scrambling of the firefighters on the street. I jump out of bed and realise that I have practically no clothes on. (This really freaks me out, who wants to see a 9 month pregnant woman in nothing but underwear and a tank top!) As you can see my mind was not totally clear yet, still fuzzy from sleep. I look out the window and see that the trucks are basically in front of our house. It only takes me a second to see that it is not our house they are interested in but two houses over from us. The fire hydrant happens to be right in front of our house though, explaining why there is so much action right out side my window. I rush around the house in a daze trying to find some clothes to put on (just incase someone comes to the door). I check Silver , who is sleeping like a brick. Have any of you ever heard what is sounds like to open a fire hydrant??? Well let me tell you it sounds like a thousand cats being slowly killed. I keep looking out the window but can't see much. Then I think of the people in the house (my head is becomming quite clear by this point). I start to pray for them. I could tell by the way the fire fighters are acting that the fire isn't very bad. So that makes me feel better. Then I think of Ryan (who should be home from work in about 20 minutes). He is going to see our street covered with fire trucks and a couple ambulances and freak out. The poor guy. But just as I am about to call him on the cel he walks in the door looking rather pale. It turns out the poor guy did panic a little. But all was well with us. Anyway, the house looks like it just had a minor fire, and the people are fine. So thanks Jesus. Thats my story for today. We are all very tired today......
